DPO King Visits Roma Village in Xanthi
In a follow-up to International Roma Day events at the U.S. Consulate General in Thessaloniki, DPO Robert King traveled to the Roma village of Drosero in Xanthi, northern Greece where he met with representatives of the Women’s Cultural and Educational Association, “Elpida” or “Hope.” The discussion focused primarily on educational issues, especially language preparedness for young students and also on Elpida’s strategies for boosting school attendance among Roma children in the village. The discussion was followed by a tour of the village and visits to a pre-school facility and a reading center sponsored by the Association.
